Default Questions on ramp rate and duration/lift

Is there a way to find duration at .006, knowing duration and lift at .050? Also, can ramp rate be found using duration and lift at .050?

No, there isn't. Why?

That may work for the XE versus XER comparison, but it doesn't always work when comparing other lobe types. An example would be an XER cam and a LSK cam. They both have the same numbers for .006 and .050 but the numbers above .050 have more duration on the LSK lobes than the XER lobes.

Here's an example:

XER 224/228 .581/.588
...........006 .050 .200
Intake: 273 224 146
exhaust: 277 228 149

LSK 224/228 .637/.639
Intake: 273 224 149
Exhaust 277 228 143
